I suppose this happens to everyone from time to time, but living in Hollywood, it seems to happen to me all the time. You know the feeling: you just need ten gallons of Regular, a caffeine-free Diet Dr Pepper, and a box of Twizzlers, but while you're fumbling for your debit card a rave breaks out in front of the mini-mart, and the next thing you know, you're waking up disoriented in the Cool Tent.
Well, I can tell you nothing like that ever happens around where I live. Old mafiosi lounging outside the Dunkin Donuts, yes. Chris Christie dwelling a few miles up the road, okay. Donald Trump golfing not far over the next hill westward, I admit it. But nothing like this.
All the gangster types... Yeah, you'd never guess it if you saw our pleasant tree-lined streets, respectable looking houses, the statues of Geo. Washington and Tom Paine. I guess thugs like the country-getaway aspect. The people of Bedminster, just over the next rise as I said, do NOT consider Trumpo's golf club a good neighbor.
Mang, am I old. That corner used to feature Tiny Naylor's, a Standard station & a Safeway. The Mobil station appears eternal ('though it may not have been a Mobil station in the '70s).
Shit like that hasn't happened to me in AGES, and it was NEVER that well-orchestrated. But then, when the Marlins won the series, Miami went berserk for about a week, if that counts.

It's never too often to drum up a little business.

Hi Li'l!
Sorry about all gangster types in your neighborhood.
Also the mafiosi.

I remember Tiny Naylor's, M. ...Where was the Safeway?
I obviously don't stop by here nearly enough!
But it's always a pleasure when you do, Debbi!
The Safeway was on the southeast corner where the Ross Mess for Less is. Think it was a stereo store or something post-Safeway.
I lived on Martel just south of Sunset from 1974-'85. Truly Hollywood's nadir; skanky hos, gentlemen of leisure, & me taking it all in.
ANNTI sez...
